If people of faith have no qualms stating that Trump was wanted by God, then shouldn’t the same be conferred upon his predecessors? God was also in control when former Presidents Barack Obama, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and all previous presidents won their respective elections. God did not sleep while Obama served two terms. The Almighty was not unaware that his name was invoked as a parting blessing in 2013 by Obama in a keynote speech at a Planned Parenthood conference. Surely, the Creator does not bless an organization whose top executive recently stated that destroying life through abortion was their “core mission.” Yet, these former presidents were victorious and these words were stated. Does that not indicate heavenly endorsement?
Not one individual who serves our country as commander in chief will carry with them the mantle of perfection. That we may agree with them and support them on Election Day does not mean they are without flaw.
Trump’s rise to the White House is an indication that God has allowed his success in the political field. However, the same exact reasoning can, and should, be used when discussing any who has either gone before or will follow in his footsteps. Permission to inhabit a space in time and history is not a tacit endorsement.
